Jumping off that last image of Dom and being on my usual Bullsh*t; Dom is captured by an Unknown Organisation for reasons he doesn't understand, and is held and studied hesvily for days- he doesn't understand what the tests are for, but they're invasive and uncomfortable. Finally, after a week, they sit him down in an interview room, and produce photos of Cody, Miranda, and the neighbours; "we know where your closest associates are at all times, and we can get to them anywhere, anytime." (1/?)
Dom, half begging half screaming, yells at them to leave his family and friends alone. "It won't have to come to that", they say, "if you do what we order you to." Don just stars back. "What would you do to protect them, Dominic? What would yo do to protect your beloved Miranda? Your son, Cody?". Without hesitation, Dom answers; "anything". The interviewer smiles darkly. "Congratulations, Mr. Bridges; you've just been enlisted."Ā
"Enlisted?" "Yes, Dominic; after a brief but intensive testing period, we've found you genetically predisposed to see things which most others cannot see; beings form worlds beyond our own that threaten our very existence. We cannot fight what we cannot see, Mr. Bridges, but that is where you come in; you shall be our eyes. You shall see what we cannot". Before Dom can ask questions or protest, he is hauled off and kitted out in very limited protective gear and good running shoes.Ā
Dom belongs to this organisation now; as they said, he is their "eyes". He is allowed to return to his normal life for the most part, however when needed he is summoned by this group to provide ocular assistance in active combat scenarios against horrors most people can't see- alongside a gaggle of other... "volunteers". Said things are horrifying beyond our comprehension, too ghastly to stare almost, but of course Dom has to; otherwise, they will die. *He* will die.
